Disney in Talks with NBA, NFL, & MLB for ESPN Partnership

Disney is reportedly in talks with the NBA, NFL, and MLB to sell part of ESPN and have them take joint ownership of the network, as Disney struggles with cord cutting and declining ad revenue. The talks with the NFL could also include Disney taking a stake in the NFL Network, NFL.com, and RedZone. Disney currently owns 80% of ESPN and could still maintain a controlling majority even after selling a portion to the sports leagues. There is also speculation that Disney may work with Comcast to become a part owner of ESPN.
